FIRE REGULATIONS. _
-WeE have more than once rémarked that
public action in Hongkong is peculiarly
spasmadic. Tt is like that of a man who
is passing a few honrs beneath the dila-
pidated voot of an indifferent inn away
from the. usual ‘track of visitors. The -
storm may howl and the wind and rain
enter through every eveck and cranny, :
but so long-as he. gan: keep bis bed. from,
being actually flooded, he’ does'nt think
it worth while to get up and aftempt to
stop thé holes.” “T shull be gone, in a
few hours” is his mental exclamation, aud
he turns tu'sleep as he best may. It is.
none of his business -to. fepait damages
for the benetit of those who, are to come
after him, and he judges patience to be
. were protitable thau labour. . And ifthe
condltid: |
landlord be indifferent, the.once trifling
damages increase and multiply until the
house in almost uninhabitable, ‘Thore is
some analogy between the case of the
traveller and that, of the ‘colonists of :
Hongkons.
It is very uninistakeable that we acu-
a most reniarkably- patient and_take-it-
easy set of people in this part, of the
world.’ We do° “ move our bed.” some
times when the danger comes too Neat 18, -,
—ie, we tale and remonstrate: bit aa to
patehing. up”—putting to rights thé
eunses of any given evil--that is quite -

s-It might be interesting, under existing

motives which prompted this letter,
which is not an- explanation; for in the
absence of distinguishing initials it does

culties which fall’ to the lot of hiin who
endeavoiirs to givé the’ public a just idan
of the relative merits of paintings or pho-

that most dreary task, ‘the perusal, da a

a consciousness, of this fact renders the pen
of tlie formér less fluent and -assertive than
that of the latter. . “Yappily many of the

from drawing comparisons . between the

dents—the most attractive will doubtless be

and Messré Lane, Crawford & Co.'s: estab-
lishments, form what’ we should term. the
moat. promiuent of the ‘ Characteristic ”
series. Thestranger would best learn from
them the aspect of the finer portions of the
town. Space forbids ourdilating atlength ou
the'manifold beanties of these views, but
we can uuhesitatingly pronounce. the first

fect photograph ‘of its sort which’ has ever

Tr is with much regret that we have to ad-
nounce the death of Captain Joseph Hdye,
C.B,, RN. (late Senior Nayal officer pre-
sont in this: port) which occurred. at Bo
a.m, this’ day,’ The deceased officer, who
wis 41 yeara of age, entered the Navy in
1842.and. served through the Russian war,
for'which he-received the medal and the or:
der of the Medjidie ofthe 6th class, He
jiad also been awarded the Companionship
of the Bath for services in Abyssinia. The
cause of death was excessive ‘debility after
an attuck of fever, in conjunction with a
fatty state of the heart. His constitution
had been also much impaired by the heat
of ‘the Red Sea and the “resporisibilties
which devolved upon him while there.

A TERRIBLE: AFFAIR 1N -MIS-
~ SISSLPPL :
A WHOLE FAMILY -MURDERED—THE* MUR-
- DERERS BURNED ALIVE,
A brief account of the ‘discovery bf a
murder perpetrated’ near Omega Landing
on the Mississippi River, has already been
published,: The following details are from
the Vicksburgh Times of the 22nd Aprit’:—
Four negroes are supposed to-be impli-
cated in the matter, Two, who are yet at
liberty, planned the murder, and two were
burned at the stake who executed the act.
The two. arrested wore taken’ singly ; ‘the
first one acknowledging his guilt at once,
and informing on bis accomplice, :
‘From the confession made by both soon
after their-“arrest, it seoms that Keenay,
who sold wood t6 steamboats, had been
singled out as a victiat several days before
tho plan was. put in. practical Operation.
The negroes wore waiting-until he disposed |
of aud received. the money for a lotof wood
he had piled out on the river bank and
ready for sale, On the- 1th instant a
passing boat Janded and took the, wood.
Keenan stayed at-the landing until the boat
left; and then, as-he was returning to his
cabin, was’ shot with an old ‘musketiu the
hands of one of tho negroes, Huastily
searching him, they discovered that he had;
no money, with ‘the e&ception of a single
three cent piece, Concealing his body with
leaves and underbrush, aud infuriated st
this. disippointment, they then .proceedéd
to Keenan’s house, intent on- completing
their work of death. At thé door of the
house they met Keenan’s wife, and in'an
insolent and threatening maunor dematided
something to'eat.
“Tho woman replied that.there was not 4.
much in the house, ‘but*that her-husband
would return in the course of a few minutes
and such as it was they could’ have @ por-
One of ‘the negroes than remarked
that she need ‘not wait for hor husband—
that ho wouldn't ba there—that they. had
‘fixed him.” The woman became setious-
ly alarmed at-this stage of the proceedings,
and feeling that.she was in imminent dan-
ger, attempted to seize a pistol lying on the
mautelpiece, She was rudely pushed aside
hy one, while the other with a blow from.
an-axe stretched her blecding on’ the floor.”
Attemptjog to. avise, another blow almost;
severed her head from the trnnk, and she
fell back a.second time, her head in the fire
blazing on the hearth. care .
“Phe oldest child, a-boy some ten years
of age, stepped ‘into’ the louse ‘at this time,
and, seeing the position of his mother,. rau |
forward to extricate her, when the axe was j
mother, killed ata blow. The second child,
a git] some years younger than the boy, ivas
sleeping in a bed, and betng awakehed by
the noise, ‘bégan to-ory and call for_its- mo--
ther. To have treated. it aa they did: the:
boy would have been an aot. of mercy! |
They set the bed on fire; and, binding the |
child on it,-burned her alive! i
“The arresting party -aecured the _pri-
soners, and on the following day, the 29th, |
delivered them to the proper civil authori-
ties, at Omega Landing. “ Having confessed
their: guilt, and ‘waiving: an examination,

"(Ball Malt Gazetts, July 95.) -

free institutions in modern England. All
thg evils that attend - government by a
minority have -béen illustrated }.-and we
have learnt by painful and ropeated experi-
encé that amony these evils isa license of
tongue and a fury of personal hatred which,
when there is uo Ministry to guide and*
vestrain, “break out inspite of the respect
folt by the Commons for their possession of
supreme power, ‘and by the Lords for their ~
ravk and theit\ traditions. The supple. -
mentary Bills of Keform have been passed,
and.the {rish. Church has beon doomed.
But these ‘supplementary Bills, with. the
one exception. of the Corrupt Practices Bill,
have been passed'in.a mannét that has.
made the Government a laughing-stock .'

the doom of the Irish Church has been

THE SONGS. OF THE STREET,
(From Lchoes.from the Clubs,)
Perhaps a slight apology is needed for in--
troducing so vulgar a subject to the readers
of Echoes. Uf 80, it is tobe found in the
title of Victor Hugo’s last-publisbed vo-
lume of poems. Since the author. of the
Roi s'amuse” and the “ Burgraves” hea
deigned to write the -‘ Chansons des Rues
“et des Bois,” it is surely no derogation to
apeak of them here, . Besides, famous men
in all ages. have written for the stréot-and
the people. Indeed, it is hard to commence
an article on the effusions: of the humbler
Burnees and Berangors of the present day
without a: reference to tho oft-quoted’ re-
mark ‘of Fletcher of Saltoun ; one: of those
happy quotable sayings that do-more to-
wards. securiug poptlar fame for a man than
a dozen written yolumtes would do: Had
Fietcher’s aspirations been gratified to the:
extent which he, desired, our ears would
probably |have been greeted by strains more

upon it. Then for the first time the ro-

Tuy Telegraf, of Kicif, suye that the
peisiuta of a neighbouring district bad re-
curse the other day'to a singular inode of
procuring rain. . ‘They dug-up the coffin of a,
member of the sect of Uld-Believers, who
had died last December, out of tlie “church-
yard, after which due of theni opened the
coffin, and faising the corpse struck it on
the head, saying ‘Give us rain,” At the
same time “several other peasants. poured
water on the boty ; it was then replaced in
the coffin, and buried again in its old place
in the churchyard. “In othec parts of Russia
the peasantry. believe that a drought “is
caused by witches'keéping the rain-in tubs,
and this supeistition has proved fatal to
many old women who were believed to be

for a number of women to drag al empty
task.t6 the nearest river, and after filling
it, to return with it to tho village.” This

interlopers, atid they were so. roughly

up to the gendarmes, whom the disturbance
brought ‘to the spot. “But the gendarmes
